You mostly only do that with elder costumers that made a routine out of going to certain places and getting the same thing everytime. So they feel welcome thought of and looked after.

The world that fast ford corporate workers want to live in, lmao. I used to work drive thru window at a fast food restaurant and the people at head office (AKA, the people who have never worked food service in their lives) decided that customers waiting any longer than 20 seconds for an order was "too long" and we would be reprimanded for it.
After college Hope was stuck working at Hardees paying off a mountain of student debt cuz she couldn't find that dream job with a degree in art history.
"Hi What can I get for you Today mr. Smith? Your usual?? " Idk if that is what every customer wants to hear. LOL it implies that they're aware that you go there like everyday.
“Your reputation is on the line.” Yes, because if I preform subpar at a fast food joint the customer will definitely remember me, and not the restaurant. 😂
OMG. My name is Hope 🤣. Hardees’ Hope is a fake and throws her coworkers under the bus. She’s an insult to the name. What’s weirder is that I was born in 1988.

The beginning makes no sense, it’s not the restaurant’s fault that man doesn’t know how to eat
Cook: "Miss! Make sure you put a boatload of napkins in the bag for Mr. Sloppy over there!"
Especially if he ordered boatloads of extra tomatoes and mayo!
The question is why the hell does he eat in the car in front of the store and not at the table?

To this day, Hope still works at Hardees for 7.50 an hour as a front line cashier. She’s miserable, old, and chain smokes..
Sadly, she died a long time ago from eating too many Hardees employee meals she found in the trash.
